The men's Brooks Defyance 12 bridges the gap between softer neutral road running shoes like the Brooks Ghost and dedicated support shoes with a Guiderail like the Adrenaline GTS.

The Brooks Defyance 12 should feel a little bit more responsive and naturally stable from a slightly broader base. Ideal for runners who benefit from a little bit of support but get that feeling that a Guiderail or similar construction is a bit too invasive.
